Well, they've gone and messed up my IDS MultiPro vanilla-cinnamon protein powder.   Now it has 7 grams of carbs per scoop and more milk stuff and less whey protein isolate.  I guess the only folks they will listen to are the weightlifters so they better hurry up and start complaining about the increase in carbs.    This new stuff is not your trusted IDS van-cin for your protein coffee any longer.  Blech! 

Syntrax is still 0 carbs as is JayRobb...or close to 0 carbs, maybe 1 carb per scoop. Thinking I might have to switch to one of those and add my own cinnamon. 

Watch the labels on your favorite protein powders. Vitalady has a warning up on her site that all the manufacturers are changing their formulas because the price of whey protein isolate has risen. Just keep an eye out.

The changes drive me nuts. For the year before surgery I drank a protein shake with Designer Whey that I loved. Went to try it with vanilla and now can only get vanilla almond flavor which is too heavy on the almond.

I still have a stash of the "old". Champion.

i haven't found a vanilla that I really love but I'm not really a vanilla girl.  I bought some of the vanilla almond and it will do but barely.  I've been using the Matrix mint cookie and matrix chocolate because I can buy them in 5 lb bags instead of 2 lb tubs.  They do have more carbs and calories but it hasn't seemed to affect my weight.  Suggestions would be great.

A hint my PT gave me about cinnamon in coffee.  Add it to the grounds when you brew the coffee instead of to the cup.  It doesn't float around and you still get the health benefits.

I need to order lemon tea and something else not chocolate or vanilla for summer drinks.  I tried the Carribean cooler and I think I will order that.  Any other suggestions?  I like fuzzy navel but don't like lemonaide.

I loved the Twisted Cherry but I've found that if I put crystal lite in my Lemon Tea that I can have any flavor that I want.

I still have some of the IDS Vanilla-Cinnamon from the last time I ordered it.  Thanks for letting us know this.  I really try to watch the protein/carbs in my protein.  I love the Syntrax Nectars and so far they are the same.  I'll have to keep watch when I order again.

I usually use About time, which says it's keeping it's formulae, but is increasing the price by about 15%. I guess I'll pay!

Thanks, I'll order some samples and see how it goes. I'll pay the extra too if the flavor and texture are good and the carbs are low.
